This week, we were actually successful in our science experiment! We were all pleasantly surprised. In writing, we started a lesson called “Make them suffer” and the boys get to create a character who is pretty unlucky. I’m looking forward to reading their stories! We have 3 weeks of school left so we will see …

Week 35
This week we started our last read aloud, “Stories of Don Quixote” and I think it’s keeping the boys’ attention! We had a very full week of school and are counting down as we get ready to start May. Saturday was Brian’s birthday so we spent time at Pizza Ranch and the park.
Week 34
This week, Samuel finished his driver’s ed coursework! He’s getting close to being out there driving. We celebrated with a family trip to see the Mario movie. I had promised Nathan we would go and this was a good excuse! We all loved it. Otherwise, we had a pretty full week of school. We learned …
Week 33
This week we had a visit from our supervising teacher and I was sick (again) and I had to run Lily to an appointment. This made for mostly half days of school. It is Saturday morning as I type this and Samuel still has Friday’s work to complete. He has been busy getting through driver’s …
Week 32
We wrapped up a couple lessons and continued the basics for three school days this week. We are enjoying Easter break now!

Week 30
Back to school! The boys had dental checkups, we had a visit from our supervising teacher and we are battling colds so we did some half days this week. We wrote from the different points of view of a tiger attack, we started new lessons in science and history, and we started our new read …
Week 29
We had two days of school this week before a spring break. We made a model of the nervous system for health, finished our read aloud and history unit, and worked on writing slogans. We enjoyed days off and will, hopefully, be ready to start back Monday!
Week 28
I completely forgot to get pictures of our science experiment this week. We tested the permeability of gravel and dirt. Otherwise, we had a full week of school and will finish things up in most subjects over the 2 days we have school next week. The boys finished up school and chores on Friday to …
Week 27
Nathan finished his math book this week and we went right into the next one! We had a science experiment with ice and friction and Cinders was supervisor of that. Otherwise, it was a full week and we got a lot done in between school-free time.
